So this weekend, well, Thursday, I went up north to the parental units to celebrate my natal day. The bus ride was pretty good thanks to my aforementioned mixes. My parents were both there at the station and we drove home where my father, bless him, had a six pack of my favorite beer (Amstel Light because domestic is skank) waiting in the fridge.

Friday, the actual day, I organized some of my books in my bedroom or the room that is mine when I'm up and there isn't any more important guests. My grandmother and uncle arrived in the afternoon and then was present time!

I received some good stuff this year. The Traveling Wilbury Collection with both albums and a DVD. (The DVD has a documentary of how the band was formed and all their videos. Yes! They have videos!) I also received the third volume of The Superfriends otherwise known as "the Firestorm series" and a DVD of Paul McCartney's 2005 tour.

Finally, I received Vince Flynn's latest paperback and an autographed copy of Tess Gerritsen's latest hardcover. It wasn't just a "Best Wishes" lame one either. It says, "To Josh, Happy 30th Birthday! May it be a thrill- Tess Gerritsen 2007." Doesn't that rock?

That night, we all went to see my second cousin in Clue! The Musical. It was cool. First they ask for three volunteers from the audience to pick giant cards and then the audience basically plays the game. For those who have never played: you're basically trying to figure out who killed Mr. Boddy, what weapon was used and where the murder took place. My mother figured it out and I figured out everything but where. Apparently "Where" was where the body was found on stage which I just figured it was center stage for production reasons, you know?

Saturday, I basically just played with my new toys all day and Sunday I went home. The only movie I watched really was the short documentary Everest. Over all it was just way too short at only 45 minutes considering it was a six moth climb or something and teasing us that there would have music by George Harrison when it really only had snippets here and there was uncalled for! I did like the Spanish woman who was on the team especially the scene where she's climbing some cliff overlooking a beach...

I didn't watch all of the Red Sox game last night as we had to get up early this morning. They finally insulated our bathroom floors after promising they would for at least a month probably longer. The new texture of the floor will take some getting used to I think.

Anyway, back to the Sox. Woo Hoo! What more can one say except I'm glad Mike Lowell was MVP and the Sox better forget A-Rod and just resign him to a four year deal which is a bargain really. It seems clear Jacoby Ellsbury will be on the team next season but is he really ready to take over for Coco Crisp full time? let the Hot Stove season begin!

My boss took me out to lunch today to a fairly new Asian Vegan place. It was good, and this opinion comes from a meat eater, and now that I know you can get substitutions, I think I will return.

Random Comments Into My Life

We did yardwork yesterday. I picked up a lot of sticks. Home Depot sucks on a Friday morning. My father and I went to get a new gascan for the mower and there was only one employee around to help us...and she didn't know anything about how these new fangled gas cans work... So due to a bank error when I reset my bank account so I could accurately keep track again, I had like a hundred dollars less in my account than I thought so my last bill payment put me in the hole. This would've been all right and easily fixed if I had been paid for the last week of my mailroom job but, oddly, I still have not been even though it's been weeks. I don't know if I can accurately convey how infuriated this makes me. If it doesn't happen soon, heads will roll! Also yesterday I re-watched the Enterprise episode "Regeneration"; this time with audio commentary from the writers. They made some valid points I hadn't considered on the issue of if this episode screws with...

Remind Me

Remind me to complain how boring and unexciting my life more often because as soon as I did, it got really exciting really fast. Last night, we had four visitors arrive from Korea. They like ziti and garlic bread. Go figure. They will be staying until Sunday night. I told my mother (AKA Hyacinth Bucket) she was making way too much salad but did she listen? No. Now we have this huge-ass bowl of salad in the fridge...What's really irritating is first the fork we use to serve catfood went missing now Susie's dish is missing as well... Tomorrow, I have a physical to prepare for my surgery then I go to my orthopedist's to fill out consent forms. Woo Hoo! I hope I can find time for a haircut as well because... Friday, I have a job interview at a library in Massachusetts! It's a reference job but I also will be conducting a book group. I've never done that but it sounds really fun. Sure, I'll be stuck reading many book that sucks but isn't that what book group i...

Your soul is bound to the Second Totem, Luna: The Wolf . Luna appears as a pair of coral colored wolves. She embodies empathy, nurturing, insight, and warmth . She is associated with the color coral, the season of spring, and the element of wind. Her downfall is pathos. You are most compatible with Doves and Ravens. Which Animal Spirit Totem Are You? brought to you by Quizilla I think I only clicked one of those qualities; maybe more. Odd but at least I'm not a Cockroach...
